Rorcid Versions Save

:warning: ARCHIVED :warning: A programmatic interface the Orcid.org API

v0.7.0

3 years ago

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • orcid_search() changes: now returns number of records found as an attribute; get it by doing attr(x, "found") if x is the result of a call to orcid_search(). In addition, added an example of retreiving number of records found, as well as added more documentation to the function page on pagination. (#86)
  • Auth gains a 3rd method: 2 legged OAuth. Updated ?orcid_auth docs on the 3 different auth methods, as well as the README and auth vignette. (#87)

v0.6.4

4 years ago

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • removed recursive parameter in orcid() function as it wasn't used internally (#65)
  • fix doc title for orcid_external_identifiers() (#81)
  • in orcid_search() removed parameters current_prim_inst and patent_number as those have been removed from ORCID; added additional fields to query on in the orcid() function: peer-review-type, peer-review-role, peer-review-group-id, biography, and external-id-type-and-value (#82)

BUG FIXES

  • remove unused param definition for ... in works() - via R-devel checks (#84)

v0.6.0

4 years ago

NEW FEATURES

  • orcid_citations() gains new internal function extract_bibtex to attempt to better parse bibtex (#74) thanks @RLumSK
  • orcid_search() gains new parameter affiliation_org to search by affiliation organization name, and parses affiliation_org output (#75)
  • orcid_search() gains new parameters ringgold_org_id and grid_org_id, as well as parsing those outputs if present (#76)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • clarify names of variables to store the ORCID API token (#71) thanks @fmichonneau
  • dont run tests if ORCID token not found (#79)

BUG FIXES

  • fix to orcid_search(): parsing issues were fixed by giving default NA's when no results found for certain result sections (#72)
  • tests now using cached requests/responses via vcr (#73)
  • orcid_search() fix: orcid-identifier.path was not returned when no results found; now we check for that in the results, and return an empty tibble if not found (#75)
  • in orcid_search(), keywords have to be passed as multiple instances of keyword rather than as keywords; fixed now; user facing still just uses keywords as the input param (#77)

v0.5.0

4 years ago

rorcid now works with the v3 ORCID API (#63) (#68) (#70)

NEW FEATURES

  • with ORCID v3 API, new functions added: orcid_distinctions(), orcid_invited_positions(), orcid_memberships(), orcid_qualifications(), orcid_research_resources(), and orcid_services()
  • gains new fxn orcid_citations() for getting citations for an ORCID ID in user specified formats - leverages rcrossref and handlr packages (#51) (#69)
  • new function added orcid_search(), a wrapper around orcid() function as an easier interface than orcid() - see https://github.com/ropensci/codemetar/issues/83 for discussion (#54)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • dataset added to the package issn_title, a named vector, with values as journal names and names as their ISSN values (sourced from Crossref; see https://github.com/ropensci/rorcid/blob/master/inst/ignore/issn_title_collect.R for script for updating this dataset if you'd like to do yourself). see ?orcid_peer_reviews examples for an example of using the dataset to gather journal titles from jorunal ISSN's (#52)
  • added documentation on ORCID authentication to README (#60) thanks @maelle
  • use fauxpas::find_error_class method instead of internal hack (#61)
  • Added more examples to the vignette (#56) thanks @bomeara
  • fix many typos (#59) thanks @maelle
  • add section to ?orcid_auth documentation about "Computing evironments without browsers" - you can't do OAuth flow in a non-interactive session (#55) thanks @pkraker for the find
  • changes for orcid_works(): put_code parameter now accepts up to 50 put codes; significant changes internally to make it easier to combine results into a data.frame (#44) thanks @gorkang

BUG FIXES

  • httpuv package added to Suggests and used inside only the orcid_auth() function when doing the OAuth flow because out of band (OOB) OAuth doesn't work without httpuv (#67) thanks @ciakovx for finding that
  • fix to identifiers() function - was failing on results that gave zero length lists (#40) thanks @agbarnett

v0.4.0

6 years ago

Most changes in this version are to update the package to work with the new ORCID API (v2.1). (#37) (#40)

NEW FEATURES

  • rorcid now support OAuth authentication. We still recommend to not use OAuth, but to get a token and store that as an environment variable. See ?orcid_auth for help (#26)
  • To work with the new ORCID API, we've introduced new functions: orcid_activities(), orcid_address(), orcid_auth(), orcid_bio(), orcid_educations(), orcid_email(), orcid_employments(), orcid_external_identifiers(), orcid_fundings(), orcid_keywords(), orcid_other_names(), orcid_peer_reviews(), orcid_person(), orcid_ping(), orcid_researcher_urls(), orcid_works()
  • we've introduced a new packcage import data.table for binding lists together into a data.frame

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Fixes to identifiers() for new API. Includes better failure behavior on classes it doesn't support (#34) (#39)
  • No changes here other than adding some examples, but ORCID API now allows ot search on some works metadata (e.g., titles) (#33)
  • Examples added for searching on specific fields (#36)
  • orcid_id() changed internally; now wraps the new function orcid_person() (#41)
  • using Markdown docs now (#35)
  • replaced httr with crul for HTTP requests. we have retained httr only to do OAuth (#32)
  • orcid_id() loses its profile parameter due to the ORCID API change. it does pass on parameters to orcid_person(), so see that man file
  • works() now returns a tibble/data.frame instead of a list of items
  • A much updated package level man file with lots of docs

v0.3.0

7 years ago

NEW FEATURES

  • Added a vignette (#20)
  • orcid_id() function gains output for employment and funding (#24) (#29)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • change all is() calls to inherits() (#30)
  • using tibble package now for compact data.frame outputs instead of internal code. an associated change in the output of both orcid() and orcid_doi() is that we now return a tibble (data.frame) instead of a data.frame as a slot in a list. we add how many results are returned from your search as an attribute on the data.frame. Access it like attr(out, "found") (#25)
  • base ORCID API URL changed from http to https scheme
  • genereal improvements to documentation throughout package

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • summary.or_id() is now defunct. see ?rorcid-defunct

v0.2.2

8 years ago

NEW FEATURES

  • Require httr >= v1.1.0 (#23)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Updated dplyr tidy data.frame internal code (#21)
  • Changes to internal use of httr::content() to parse to text, then read JSON manually using jsonlite & to always set encoding explicitly in the same calls (#22)

BUG FIXES

  • Fix to as.orcid() and presumably other function calls by requiring httr >= v1.1.0 because older versions cause a problem when parsing responses (#23) thanks @ericwatt
